What in an ECO-MESH® Trellis System?An ECO-MESH® Trellis System is a modular wire mesh grid system designed to support a variety of plants and vines that can be freestanding or attached to stationary structures. Common applications are:

"Green" Benefits*• Cleans and cools air by absorbing carbon oxides, heavy metal particles and emissions.• Helps to buffer wind and sound.• Decreases energy consumption by regulating air temperature.• Can contribute to LEEDS point credits in several categories, such as sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, and innovation in design.

Structural Benefits• Helps preserve the structural integrity of a building by supporting the weight of vines and other plants while keeping them away from walls and other building surfaces.• Slows building deterioration by protecting structures from UV, weather and temperature fluctuations.

*Many cities and municipalities are developing programs that encourage, and sometimes even require, a certain percentage of vegetative coverage. An ECO-MESH® Trellis System is one of the easiest and most space efficient ways to incorporate this design element. Environmental experts predict that by 2015 more than 30% of the nation’s 100 largest cities will have a "green factor" requirement.
